Booked lunch for 2 for my 60th Birthday last week. Waiter was entertaining and kept our glasses topped up without being in the way. The Duck Tortellini with pate was terrific as was the seared scallops for entrée. My wife enjoyed her Baccala couchette's and seafood Linguini. My wife had a third course being the chocolate pudding with soft warm sauce inside. They gave me a plate signed with a chocolate happy birthday and some fudge with a candle...nice touch actually. I had a great experience...so no complaints here. rgs Richard and Maree
A wonderful dining experience. We entertained our international business associates and they were delighted with the food, atmosphere and service. I would not hesitate to recommend Cecconi's.
It was our third time there, Amazing! Beautiful food, great location with very friendly staff that made us feel very welcomed, we will be back again
Stylish setting. Attentive staff. Delicious modern Italian food presented beautifully. I would highly recommend cecconi's and intend to come back next time I'm in Melbourne!
A great meal and friendly service as always. We will be back. The seafood linguine and veal cotelleta are top of the list for me.
Cecconi's is always a wonderful restaurant. I have dined here many times and I have never been disappointed. Delicious, superbly prepared food, excellent service and a great ambiance.
Food was below average and service was abrupt. Pasta not aldente but undercooked, over salted and steak was dry and overdone. Wine list was cheap and uninspired. It was a very disappointing experience. I expected much more for a restaurant that consistently receives awards. There are so many better places to eat in Melbourne. I will not come back again.
Impeccable service, beautiful ambience, and stunning food. We took our 14 yo for a food experience and the staff were magnificent with him, explaining dishes and making recommendations. White chocolate parfait, if it's on the menu in future, do not hesitate to get it...divine! The passionfruit meringue wafers in it were to die for.
A classic Melbourne institution did not disappoint - the setting, food, staff and wine were all fantastic. I opted for the Morton Bug Spaghettini for starters and then opted for the Grain fed Scotch Fillet which was beautifully cooked (rare) with a fantastic rich smokey crust - magnificent!
A great special occasion restaurant. Waiters helpful and food all delicious! We had antipasto, entrees, main & dessert and it was about $150 a head for food.
I'm a semi regular here and regard Cecconis one of this towns finest dining outings. Service always attentive. Food wise? Authentic allowing key ingredients to speak for themselves.
The Staff were lovely and friendly and made the effort to make our evening enjoyable. The food was really great and the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion.
Ambiance, service, culinary mastery. It was simply a fantastic food experience. Cecconi's is now my go to venue when I want to host a special event.
Yummy food and amazing service. We will definitely return. The staff at this restaurant make you feel as though you are at home, and treat you so well that you want to return.
Great food . Great service . Great overall experience. Nothing to fault . No wonder they were bustling on a cold Wednesday night. Not a cheap night but well worth cost.
Absolutely delicious dinner, beautiful service, excellent decor. My favourite was the pappardelle with beef ragu as well as the chocolate pudding. Highly recommended for your next celebration.
We thoroughly enjoyed my family birthday dinner at Cecconis. Out table was in a marvellous spot - a round table for 6, in the corner (especially good for the 2 'senior' members of our party who do not hear so well. Attentive and unobtrusive service and excellent food and wine. Well done Cecconis!
great food - friendly staff - fast service - although i was there very early so that might have helped. Food was first class would recommend. Price - on the high side but was quality
Was a fabulous experience and would definitely recommend it. On the expensive side but was well worth it. Excellent service and beautiful setting and fine linen
A warm welcome followed by superb service and great meals. This was one of those rare occasions where the waiters anticipated our every need. A superb night completed with an equally warm goodbye.
Fantastic restaurant and fantastic attentive staff. Franseca our waitress was great. The food was amazing and high quality. Will definitely be visiting Cecconi's again for sure!
Exceptional! The ambiance, service, variety offered on the menu and food was sensational. I can't wait to go back :) Best Italian restaurant in Melbourne!
Great food, service and ambiance. Our waitress was very attentive and our wine was spot on. The ox cheek was delicious and my wife had the quail.
Great service. Quiet intimate environment. The oysters and then mains, particularly the venison was superb. We will definitely return agai to this wonderful Flinders lane institution.
A great venue with delicious food, attentive service and relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful pasta dishes and great desserts. The luxury interior completes a wonderful dining experience.
Cecconi's presents beautifully cooked food, with great ambience and attentive service. All aspects of this restaurant are easy to enjoy. They will always go out their way to make this a place which you will want to go back to time and time again.
The last time we ate at Cecconi's was when it was located at The Crown Casino. We won't wait as long in the future.Excellent food,excellent service.Overall experience was very good and memorable.Will definitely recommend the restaurant to my family and friends.
Pasta could have had more flavour, we were a little disappointed with the dishes. Apart from that, the ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful :)
Always a great meal amd wonderful service ! Great menu and wine list is extensive. I highly recommend dining at this restaurant, you will not be disappointed
My favourite Italian in Melbourne! Classy interior, great service, and the best chocolate fondant in town. My favourite dish is the pappardelle ragu- get the chips on the side!
GREAT FOOD AND GREAT SERVICE. NICE ENVIROMENT. We had scallops, barramundi and duck along with a delicious desert. Well worth trying when you are visiting Melbourne
The food was absolutly delicious. We were positioned near the door and there was constant cold draught. The wait service was a slow - and they forgot to bring a drink pre lunch and coffee and brought the wrong wine.
The space was beautiful. Food was delicious, could not fault. Service was good however very large groups took most attention away from checking in on smaller tables.
The cuisine atmosphere and service were wonderful. The restaurant was very busy but we were made to feel welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
It's quite a few years since dinning at Cecconi's(no excuse) having originally started dinning with Olympia when her restaurant was located in St. Kilda. Nothings changed in all that time -- still great. Always good to meet up with Anna again.
The food, wine and room was delicious but service was disjointed. Our entrees arrived about 5 minutes after ordering them which was disappointing and we had to ask them not to bring the mains as quickly. Dessert also came very fast and had clearly been pre made (down to the gelato quenelles). Timing/flow needs to be perfect when your mains are $50. An expensive bottle of wine was also poured out far too regularly as well. Wanted to love it but didn't!
Loved it. Food and service was amazing. Unobtrusive staff made sure we had everything we needed without interrupting the flow of conversation at all. Food was second to none. Amazing fresh pasta. All of my guests commented on both food and service similarly. Highly recommend.
Atmosphere busy and warm. Staff well trained and friendly. Food menu huge. Food taste was amazing. I would rate this a top class restaurant. I will be back.
The food and service was excellent. Also the restaurant has a good pace when serving its customers, which makes doing business there easy. We will go back again.
The service was excellent, food was lovely, menu was not as extensive as I would have thought but overall it was a great experience and I will go back again.
To be honest, I expected more for the money we spent. The food quality was variable. The slow cooked rabbit saddle was excellent, however my wife's Salmon was over cooked. Similarly the deserts and drinks were of mixed quality. Our sparkling wine was excellent, but our Tuscan Red was full of sediment and not really what you would expect from a $120 bottle of wine. Overall our experience was good, but not great. I would expect more when spending $150 per head for a three course meal.
We had to quickly eat due to a booking for a play at 7:30, and the waitstaff & kitchen staff were so warm and accommodating.
Cecconi's is certainly a classy restaurant serving good Italian dishes! A personal favourite was their wild mushroom risotto which was a special on the day.
AMAZING food! AMAZING menu! AMAZING service. Could not find a single fault with the entire experience. Will definitely be going back in the future! Loved it
Food and service was great, overall cost of food was quite expensive. I really enjoyed the goat special main course, and the seafood linguini. Although $49 for a main course was quite steep.
Food Was good and whilst service was efficient I found waiter to be a bit curt in manner. Good atmosphere and location. A touch exxy
The food was excellent over all 3 courses. The staff were very professional as well as very friendly. The entire experience was great. We'll be going back.
Lovely environment, attentive waiters and absolutely delicious food. Cecconi's is also fairly priced for the quality and service. Highly recommended for a special night out!
Very nice 2nd time we have been when in Melbourne....clean modern and friendly professional service. Food was unbelievable....I came with my son this time and he was impressed as well
Great service and good food. It was a busy night so the atmosphere was great and we had a lovely waiter who had a beautiful Italian accent that made it all the more a romantic experience for us.
